BETWEEN THE DYING AND THE DEAD (HBO) - Al Pacino has been tapped to topline the pay channel's biopic of right-to-die champion Dr. Jack Kevorkian. Barry Levinson is helming the project from a script by Adam Mazer with Levinson, Steve Lee Jones, Lydia Dean Pilcher and Glenn Rigberg executive producing. As for specifics, "Dying" will track
"Kevorkian's construction of his infamous 'Mercy Machine,' his first assisted suicide in the early 1990s and the resulting media frenzy." Kevorkian was subsequently convicted of second-degree murder in 1999 and was released in 2007. Longtime Kevorkian associates Harry Wylie and Neal Nicol penned "Between the Dying and the Dead," the manuscript upon which the film is based.
